British families installing their Anderson Shelters.  These were basically steel huts, pre-fabricated and supplied in self-assembly kit form (free to those on low incomes).  They were designed to be buried in domestic gardens (or at least sodded over) to enhance bomb protection.  They supplied good protection for 6-10 people (except perhaps from direct hits or very near misses), but received mixed reviews overall as they tended in practice to be damp, cold and squalid refuges.  Best regards, JR.

Anderson Shelter.

Demonstration of a Morrission Shelter, introduced by the British Government in 1941.  This was a cage made of heavy duty steel, for use as a bomb shelter in your living room.  This example could, at a pinch, sleep two; "two storey" versions sleeping 4-5 were also developed.  It was stated that, when there was no bombing about, the Morrission could be used as a table.

For the home that has everyting ...

Instruction sheet for lucky recipients looking to assemble their Anderson Shelter.  Oh well, unlike the Home Guard's self-assembly Smith Gun, these would not explode in your face if, in the course of assembly, you made a slight mistake ... Best regards, JR.
